On the 21st of September 2015, which was on
Monday, it was a great day for Sunway University College and the students from
Sunway CPA Australia Student Charter (SCSC), as they hosted “The Naked CEO”,
Mr. Alex Malley which also the CEO of CPA Australia. Mr. Alex was invited to host
a talk, “Meet the Naked CEO”. Before the main event, there was another small
session with Mr. Alex in the CPA Masterclass. The CPA Masterclass was to
begin at 1.30 pm and end at 2.30 pm. This CPA Masterclass was for the CPA student
ambassadors to have a more personal session with Mr. Alex himself. The CPA
Masterclass event was held at the Function Room 2 of the new university
building of Sunway University. CPA student ambassadors from Monash University,
INTI University and Taylor’s University were invited to attend. Before the
event started, the members had arrived earlier at around 1.15 pm at Function Room
2 to set everything up such as, arranging the chairs in a desired state where
the Mr. Alex would be the centre of attention. The networking session
began at approximately 1.45 pm. The CPA Masterclass began with everyone
introducing themselves, which year were they currently in and their course
majors. Mr. Alex then began conversing with the people present in the room,
sharing his experiences and what he had learnt from it all. The CPA Masterclass
ended at around 2.45 pm.
Everyone then departed and started making their
way to Jeffrey Cheah Hall 1 which is located at the new university building.
Before entering the hall, those who were attending the event had to register at
the registration counter are manned by the CPA student ambassador. After the
registration, the attendees took their seats in the hall. The “Meet the Naked
CEO” event garnered a very impressive turnout of students of different courses
ranging from ACCA to A-Levels and many more. After everything was prepared, it
was time, for the CEO of CPA Australia, The Naked CEO himself, Mr. Alex,
accompanied with his associates from Australia to step in the hall. His
entrance was welcomed with a huge round of applause. The event started with an
opening speech. Mr. Alex was invited to take the stage to start the
talk. He shared his experiences, knowledge, and wisdom he had with the crowd.
Mr. Alex was impressive and inspiring to the crowd, sometimes giving the crowd
a good chuckle with his funny yet amazing experiences. It came a
time where his talk would come to an end, where it came time for the Q and A session. Only a few students were given the opportunity to ask Mr.
Alex questions due to time constraints. The event ended with a round of
applause for Mr. Alex.
After the event, there was a book signing and photo
session where students had the chance to get their “The Naked CEO” book signed
and even get a picture with Mr. Alex. The queue was long with a large number of
students wanting to get a picture and book signed. Overall, the entire event
was a huge success. It was truly an amazing experience for everyone who
attended. The event ended later than expected that is approximately 6.30 pm.
